Salt Lake Community College is a place of learning...when one has the right attitude. With the wide variety of classes, from the general algebra and basic biology to the complex anatomy and astronomy, students can take classes related to their majors or classes for fun. There are even classes where students can learn how to be master students and go through college with flying colors.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
There are so many resources, especially in the Taylorsville Redwood campus, for students just starting out. Each building has something that can somehow help students. The student center is the main building, and it has everything for every student. There are volunteer opportunities that students can take advantage of with the Thayne Learning Center, free health check-ups with the health and wellness center, a financial aid office that helps students with financial aid such as FAFSA or general scholarships, and so much more. There are various computer labs in various areas that students can use for free. In the administration building, there is an office that aids students in getting jobs on- or off campus. There are so many things that students can do on campus.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Colleges are expensive, and Salt Lake Community College is no exception. Tuition is getting higher every year. And with the textbook and student fees, it would almost seem like students would have to pay a million dollars every semester. However, there are many scholarships out there about which few students know. Fastweb is a search engine that collects scholarship information specifically for a student and gives him/her the link to apply for the scholarship. Salt Lake Community College gives scholarships specifically for its students. The financial aid office, located on the second floor of the student center, is a good place to inquire about scholarship information, including FAFSA.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
My tips would be to develop good study habits (classes such as LE 1020 are good to take for college freshmen and everyone else), learn of the various resources on campus, start school with a good attitude, and set goals and achieve them.
